    Exhibit Catalog for, "Ritual of Reading: Religion and the Illustrated Book," March 22-May 14, 2010
    (2010-03-22) Sienkiewicz, Emily
    Throughout history, the illustrated book has served a significant role in the practice of religion and the expression of religious beliefs. Ranging from bibles to codices to examples of great literature and reproductions of master paintings, the books in the Francis V. Gorman Rare Art Book Collection and the University's Special Collections demonstrate the key role art and artists play in the cultivation and promotion of religion, faith and spirituality.

    Exhibit Guide for, "Paradise and Purgatory," February 14 - April 4, 2008
    (2013-05-31) Boudewyns, Deborah K. Ultan; Freeman, Travis; Wong, Michael
    Two art exhibits—one of works by University of Minnesota graduate students, and one of images from the University's Gorman Rare Art Book Collection—explore themes of salvation and damnation in art. Work ranging from the 4th century to the present informs viewers of possible routes to spiritual redemption and the disasters that might befall moral transgressors.
